From: A role for neutrophils in early enthesitis in spondyloarthritis
Human entheseal stromal cells produce chemokines and adhesion molecules important for leukocyte recruitment. Stromal cells were isolated from human entheseal sites and stimulated with the fungal adjuvant mannan (1 mg/ml) for 24 h. A–D Supernatant was analyzed for IL-8, IL-6, CCL2 and CCL20 protein (n = 3). E, F Expression of the adhesion molecules ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 was analyzed by FACS, and median fluorescence intensity was quantified (n = 3). Paired t test (*p < 0.05, **p < 0.01)
